Expert on certainty of memory forgets
http://www.newsoftheweird.com/archive/nw061217.html
University of California, Irvine, professor Elizabeth Loftus, a prominent scholar on people's overconfidence about memory, was turned down by the judge as an expert witness in November in the forthcoming trial of "Scooter" Libby (Vice President Cheney's former assistant, who has been charged with lying to prosecutors about phone conversations, which Libby says weren't lies but just forgetfulness). At a hearing on Loftus' credentials, prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald not only exposed some problems with her research but elicited from Loftus the confident assertion that the two had never before met. However, Fitzgerald then immediately refreshed Loftus' memory, reminding her that he had cross-examined her in court once before. [Washington Post, 10-27-06] |

A perfect example of your ranting mindless bias getting in the way of your capacity to think and the irony REALLY involved here. The JUDGE WAS WRONG. If ever there was a credible witness this would be it...someone who is an expert "on people's overconfidence about memory" demonstrating that even SHE is overconfident about her memory. Now lie and tell me you got that little twist. R R R R R R R RR R R RR R |

Greg, in the first week of my lurking here observing ascps and you silly mentally flatulent twits I knew damn well which way you would go when under what circumstances. You are a classic case. I studied you for years before I ran into you. And others just like you here. You are full of delusions about yourself. It's why you did what you did. 0:-] |
